DECISION OF THE BOARD; January 29, 1981
This matter involves complicated multi-party proceedings brought under both sections 79 and 112a of The Labour Relations Act. The sole issue currently before the Board is whether a settlement stated to be a final settlement of all matters in dispute between the parties and accepted by all of the unions involved, except Local Union No. 700 of the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Ironworkers ("Ironworkers Local 700") is binding on Local 700 and precludes the local from continuing these proceedings. Among the other parties involved in this matter are the Sarnia, Ontario, Canada Building and Construction Trades Council ("the Building Trades Council"), the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron, Shipbuilders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers ("the Boilermakers International"), Local 128 of the same International ("Boilermakers Local 128"), the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada ("the U.A. International"), Labourers' International Union of North America, Local 1089 ("Labourers Local 1089"), International Union of Operating Engineers Local 793 ("Operating Engineers Local 793") and Ins-Co Sarnia Ltd. ("Ins-Co").
File No. 0853-79-U is a complaint under section 79 of the Act filed by the Building Trades Council on behalf of all of its constituent members, save and except Boilermakers Local 128. The Building Trades Council is comprised of a number of union locals having jurisdiction in the Sarnia area. Each of these locals is affiliated to one of the International Building Trades Unions.
